Road safety may have seen a major breakthrough thanks to the new helmet designed by Canyon: it's called the Stingr Smart and is designed to guarantee cyclists the best possible experience. A flip-up visor and full integration with AI-based safety systems, a practically perfect combination that provides the best possible protection for the user. All performance and safety information is communicated through an audio and tactile system that ensures you receive alerts before you can even see them.
A product, the Stingr Smart helmet, which perfectly integrates Canyon Predict technology for cyclingThis helmet offers a glimpse into the potential future application of technology available to cyclists, positioning itself as a system capable of revolutionizing cycling safety.
Safety
The Stingr Smart Helmet is an integral part of the intelligent system of your digital ecosystem. and Canyon Predict performance, a tool that allows the cyclist to see what he cannot seeFrom data visualization, road hazards, other users' behavior, group riding dynamics, and even riding behavior tips. All of this can be conveniently viewed on the head-up display (HUD) located in the retractable visor..
To avoid distracting the user from riding, data visualizations are projected primarily into the cyclist's peripheral vision, minimizing cognitive load and keeping the user's attention on the road ahead. Any warnings are designed to increase in intensity, including both customizable haptics and alerts that appear in the center of the screen.
Together with the Canyon Predict prototype bike, this helmet innovation reinforces Canyon’s long-term commitment to performance, safety and digital integration.
Data analysis
At the Eurobike fair in Frankfurt, Canyon gave an explanation of the ways and applications that the Stingr helmet can have in everyday life, with the aim of increasing road safety for as many users as possible.
The overall goal of the helmet visor is to provide intelligent, contextualized information, rather than simple data and warnings, and to allow the rider to issue commands or switch between data views without having to take their hands off the handlebars.
For cyclists who also want to have an overview of their performance, they can include data such as speed, distance, time, cadence, power, altitude and slope.It is also possible to measure heart rate directly from the helmet and detect other bicycle parameters compatible with Bluetooth or ANT+.
Features
The Stingr Smart Helmet is based on the technology of the Stingr aero helmet, offering top-level head protection and aerodynamic watt savings thanks to its aerodynamic, high-performance design.
The visor is activated via a voice command or by pressing the touch buttonVoice commands are transmitted through an audio system positioned near the ear. Its microphone allows access to all helmet functions without the cyclist having to remove their hands from the handlebars. The audio system also allows you to receive alerts or notifications, as well as providing directions, group messaging, or hands-free calling when connected to a smartphone.
